Why Do The Democrats Want The US To Surrender In IRAQ???

Question

They keep claiming we should end the war...but why? You don't end a war until it's won unless you are planning on surrendering. The DEMS keep saying we haven't won yet- so why not continue on in the fight? Why would you give up and run away when the enemy is on the ropes???

Answer 1

Political gain. The Libs are striking out against their countrymen, and women like they did in Vietnam, and Democrats know there are more Libs in America, then reason. Did you ever think an elected politician cared about you, what you think, or any other American? If you did, I am sorry. You were wrong.
We need to stay in Iraq, and continue to fight the terrorists there. The war is not against the Iraqi people, but against the insurgents there.
Regardless of what Libs say, which is a lie, Mr. Bush said, after 9/11, we (USA) will fight anyone who harbors terrorists. We're doing that now, since terrorists are abiding in Iraq. We are in a war on terrorism! It makes no difference what country they're in, it only matters that there are terrorists harbored in said country, and America will not fail to keep her promise! Terrorists be gone! We will succeed.

Answer 2

Too many people think of this as a traditional "war". We are not at war with Iraq or any other country. We are fighting terrorists who fight for their beliefs in their religion. This is not a war like WWII where the sides were clearly established and a surrender or peace could be clearly negotiated with officials. The terrorists are not afraid to die and clearly believe it is an honor to die fighting the Americans.How do you "win" against people like that? How when 10 more will take the place of every one that is killed.This is a very unconventional war trying to be fought conventionally.

Before anyone compares the terrorists to the Japanese Kamikazes or the fanatic Nazis who were not afraid to die,
the Japanese and Germans fought for their countries and national pride and still answered to their government. Islamic terrorists are a new breed and this is a whole new kind of "war".

Answer 3

We already won the war a few weeks after it began. Almost everything we've done in Iraq since then is to try to get the Iraqi factions to make peace with one another. It's costing us American lives, and bleeding us of American treasure.

The idea that not winning a war is surrendering is an odd one, certainly not based on history. Let's be a little precise here. When you surrender, you say to the other country `I'll do what you demand if you'll stop making war against me.'' In Iraq, there's no other country we could surrender to! And there's nobody there who's likely to surrender to us. The only people there lunatic enough to fight against Americans are already seeking suicide.

Going into Iraq we had two stated goals, eliminating WMDs and deposing Saddam Hussein. Right or wrong, the country decided to do that, and we did it. But when did we decide that we would stay in Iraq as long as it took for the Iraqis to all love us and love one another?

Answer 4

First, what do you consider a win?
Second, we are no longer fighting a war, but are instead losing a peace.
The objectives of the war have been met. We have not found any mass stockpiles of WMDs. Saddam Hussein is no longer in power. The Iraqis have an elected government and a military.
I supported the war and I continue to support the troops and will do so to the bitter end, but this idea that we are still fighting an actual war Iraq is misguided. What we are doing is occupying the country and trying to play policeman in the middle of civil strife between different religious factions. If you can show me one successful campaign of this nature at any point in history I will be happy to consider your arguments because frankly I cannot find one. Ultimately these claims of surrender are hollow. Surrender from what?

Answer 5

The sane man ultimately knows that war is wrong ,the dems have used that tenet before and it worked ,Nixon and the republicans were blamed for Vietnam and Carter reaped the benifits .Carter created Islamic extremeism by failing with the mullahs in 79 .Bush 1 sorted out Saddamin gulf 1 and the democrats protested ,Clinton took over and was a panderer to middle east interests and created the belief that with enough provacation America would return to isolationism which is the democrats aim in ending the war now .Cut the military budget etc as has been done in the past this democrat trait goes back as far as woodrow wilson before entering ww2 which ultimately led to the depression of the twenties and thirties.

Answer 6

I believe they have already surrendered, they just want republicans to fall in line. By the way, who signs the surrender agreement is it Bin Laden or Ted Kennedy? I heard Nancy Pelosi went over there, is she representing Al-queada at the "Peace Accords". Does congress have to vote on surrender or can they just pass a resolution? Do we have to give up any territory in a surrender, and if we do, do we give them New York because they took the twin towers or do we keep it. Can we exchange prisoners for congress members? How many prisoners do you think we could get for Hillary, Nancy, Ted, and Edwards?

Answer 7

It's not about surrender. We NEVER should have went to war there. We didn't have a strategy for winning. The chimp wants to "stay the course" because when he hands this war off to a new president, people won't remember his blunders and we will just see the new president's. Thousands of our soldiers have died in this unwinnable fight and many more thousands are wounded - some so badly that even our American health care system can't help them. The ONLY answer is ... GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT!

Answer 8

I live in a military town and know several military people that have been to Iraq. They all agree that we need to be there, some even want to go back to help finish the job. The liberals are just on another band wagon that opposed President Bush. If it wasn't Iraq it's be something else. When Clinton sent troops into Bosnia (where they still are) you didn't hear the liberals complaining about that.

Answer 9

Because bush lost iraq the day he invaded. The sooner the waste of American lives and tax dollars end the better.

why aren't you in iraq fighting today?

Answer 10

Reid & Pelosi are reducing off investment to thieves like Cheney & his rabbit hollow Haliburton in an attempt to quit the Republicans from stealing the billions in investment Congress already tried to apply to fund the troops you moron.
